BERLIN, Nov I9.-Though nothing has been
officially announced IN regard TO Prince Bis
marcks long interview with the Gear. it is
open secret 10 diplomatic circles that Prince Bis
marck theoretically urged the Gear to assist in
putting end to Russa's economic war with
Germany. Count Schouvalof. the Rus sian en-
sassador. had prepared the Gar for Prince Bis
uarcks line of argument. at the same time sup
porting the policy of Cancellation by advising
icquiescence in the Chancellors suggestions. AS
these were directly hostile TO NJ. de Giers,

the Gar with the fact that the incessant at
sacks on German commerce aud the persecu-
lions of German traders in Russia must be
stopped before there can be renewal of the
entente codiae between the two countries the
return of the Gear to ST. Petersburg. will be
eignaliZed by reconstruction of the Ministry.
Prince Bismarck is understood to have spoken
Earnestly and frankly with the Gear, not mine
ing matters, but stating plainly what personal
obstacles existed within the Russian Cover n
mont and operated against the restor alton OF
amicable relations If the conditions imposed
by Prince Bismarck be fulfilled. Finance Minis
ter Vishnigradski, who fervent follower
and friend of NJ. Katkof, will be dismissed;
Count Tolstoi will be compelled TO give
up the ministry of the interior, and NJ. Pobsd-
onostzeff. procurator of the synod and intimate
adviser of the Gar, will have to cease his open
hostility TO Germany and his ostentatious en-
coaragement of French revanchists. OIL De
Giers is less dangerous to the Bsmarckian
policy than are these three. The Gar is also
ready to throw M. De Giers He is dis
pleased with the impotence of his Prime Minis
Ter in dealing with Bulgaria, and with his fall
TO check the central European alliance. In
conversation while at Fredersborg. the Gar
freely expressed the opinion that NJ. De Giers
was getting too old and wants rest Prince
Bismarck would gain the whole diplomatic
battle if Count Schouvaloff should succeed NJ.

An inspired article in the Pesther Lloyd declares
that Russia cannot join the triple alliance,
which agreement remains unchangeable till
its expiration IN 1891 ANY OF the powers can
effect rapprochemeDt with it. but none
modify its original character. Official circles in
Berlin do not seem saneuine that the Gar will
be able to sweep the Germanophobists from his
Ministry at Public and official hatred in
Russia against the Germans is so intense that
even the autocrat must go softly in modifying
his policy. but unless the Gar influences
marked change. the existing strained relations
will result ere long IL an open rupture The
Cologne Gazette concludes bitter anti-Russian
article as follows: 1.-The Russians may as
sured that 40 further attempt will be made to
draw Russia to Germany's side. The policy of
Germany will henceforth be devoted to strength

can rely With certainty"
The North German Gazette tonight denies
that Prince Bismarck regards the dismissal of
Finance Minister Vischnigradski and the partl-
sans of the revanehe movement as indispensable
conditions of the renewal of friendly relations.
The paper denies. also, that the internal arran

TO soothe Russian jealousles, which are certain
to be aroused TO furious pitch if the people be-
come convinced that the Gar has reformed the
government in consequences of the promptings of
Prince Bismarck.

that the interview between the Gar and EN-
peror William will not much improve the rela-
